Amazon Expedition

A Lesbian Feminist Anthology

Phyllis Birkby; Jill Johnston; Bertha Harris; Esther Newton; Jane O’Wyatt

Before the 1970s, lesbians could publish their writing in nonspecific collective volumes, but not until 1973, with the publication of Amazon Expedition: A Lesbian Feminist Anthology, edited by Phyllis Birkby, was the lesbian anthology in its own right born.’ — Encyclopedia of Lesbian and Gay Histories and Cultures, George Haggerty & Bonnie Zimmerman (eds.)

‘When lesbians within the gay liberation movement synthesized gay politics with feminism, they started a separate political/cultural development which thousands of women began to identify with. This is what this anthology is about. Culture, herstory, politics, celebration, Lesbianfeminism — one concept: the new womanity.’ — publisher.
